Brussels Terror Attacks: How Every Media Network Is Covering (Updating)

The broadcast and cable news networks are going all-in on breaking news coverage of the terror attacks in Brussels on Tuesday.

As in every breaking news situation, this is fluid and will change, but TheWrap will update this page throughout the day with different news organizations’ plans. At the moment, the terror in Brussels is now clearly the No. 1 concern in news media.

The big question is whether or not networks will bump coverage of today’s presidential primaries and caucuses. However, every candidate has already commented on the tragedy on social media, so it’s a possibility that the attack will become a major talking point in election coverage.

Here’s how the networks are responding to the deadly explosions in an airport and at a subway station, so far.

Fox News

FNC’s Kelly Wright broke into overnight at 3:42 a.m. ET with news of explosions in Brussels at the Zaventem airport, as well as the Maelbeek metro station.

Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum are anchoring coverage from New York with the network’s senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot en route to Brussels. FNC will provide live coverage from the scene throughout the day. Additionally, FNC foreign affairs correspondent Benjamin Hall is reporting from London and FNC correspondent John Huddy is covering live from Jerusalem.

Fox News will be live throughout the primetime hours and the network said they will balance both aspects of the breaking news out of Brussels along with the election coverage. Bret Baier will lead the coverage from New York, with Shepard Smith reporting on the breaking news out of London tonight. Tomorrow, Smith will be live from Brussels throughout the day.

Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie are anchoring a special edition of the “Today” show dubbed “Terror in Brussels.”

Richard Engel, Pete Williams, Tom Costello, and Keir Simmons are contributing to NBC’s coverage with Andrea Mitchell helping out, despite being in Cuba with President Obama.
